    Post Smile Beach Boys

    Recently viewing Beach Boys docs as infinitum over on YouTube and am becoming increasingly curious concerning the band's works in the Four year wake after the abandonment of the Smile project in its entirety.Bits and pieces began to surface in Wild Honey and 20/20 and I'm quite intrigued with...

    The Knack(and should we get them?)

    An internet Vlogger recommended investigating the Knack beyond their "My Sharonna" and "Get the Knack" and suggested a record called "Round Trip",which I may get around to on YouTube.Previously,I was told that basically even including "Sharonna",which somehow managed to become Billboard...

    Klaatu

    Been growing increasingly interested in listening to the works of Canadian prog-rockers Klaatu beyond their debut which in 1976 was mistaken for a secret Beatles' reunion.Can anyone recommend any particular titles.I'm appealing particularly to Canadian fans here as I know they've developed...

    Huey Lewis and the Ruse

    Know what old tune really pisses me off?"Heart of Rock and Roll" by tirelessly overrated 80's pop band Huey Lewis and the News.This is NOT real rock and roll.It's a frigen pop record through and through.They include some usual three chord sort rock progressions and just CALL it real rock.And to...

    Greta

    Finally got around to giving a quick listen to Greta Van Fleet after hearing so much about how they sound almost exactly like Led Zeppelin.INDEED!Quite impressed here.Everything spot on right down to the lead singers' uncanny Robert Plant impressions,including Plant's physical stage...

    Psych On the Strip

    Been doing much research in recent years in the area of popular 1960's Psychedelic LA Strip Club bands and having not been born till the end of the decade,I often wonder exactly what it might have been like to have been seated at Bito Lido's watching Arthur Lee and Love or in the front row at a...

    Beefheart

    Been watching some Captain Beefheart docs on YouTube and am quite in awe of how the man simply took apart the usual precepts of conventional musical scales and timings to create his own world full of wonderful explorations through the soul of someone who was a true ARTIST in every sense of the...

    Radio Grievance

    Don't know bout the classic rock stations in YOUR town,but here in Boston,there are a couple of rock radio grievances I have to air and maybe they're somewhat relatable to you.Firstly,WAY too much Tom Petty...second,why so much Night Ranger "Sister Chrtistian" and lastly,is it me or is "Nothing...

    Radio Staples

    I figure the top five bands most necessary for any classic rock radio station are,in no particular order,Beatles,Stones,Zep,Pink Floyd,and the Who.Then maybe Claption 6th and Dylan at No.7...certainly Jimi Hendrix,Black Sabbath and AC/DC could quite possibly round out the rest of the top...

    Meet the Beatles VS Beatles 2nd Album

    I personally prefer Beatles No. 2 for its superiority in terms of sheer rock power,but then on the other hand,"Meet" does showcase the Beatles' ability for more sensitive material such as "Till There Was You" and "All I've Got to Do".Both covers are well designed,but the edge here goes to the...

    Rock Vlogs

    Been perusing the many rock related vlogs on YouTube.Some very fascinating ones for those into collectors of records of considerable market worth as well as there are some well more than worthwhile sites for classic album reviews.In the latter department,I recommend a vlog I'm assuming is out...

    Morning Drive

    Is anyone out there similarly annoyed by the often banal and insipid ramblings of the DJ who hosts morning drive time on their favorite classic rock radio station?A mildly amusing and entertaining tidbit here and there,but too much sheer babbling in between my AM doses of Ozzy and Jimi....

    Motorhead/Hall of Fame

    Last night on "Jeopardy",they featured a category about popular acts that are not in the Hall of Fame and Motorhead was one of the correct responses.Do they belong in the hall?...now that KISS,Alice Cooper,Chicago and Moody Blues have all FINALLY been inducted in recent years,who else do you...

    Simple Pleasures

    cRecently listening to the Bay City Rollers' 1976 Billboard number one "Saturday Night" that got me thinking whatever happened to good old fashioned let your hair down innocently pleasurable mainstream tunes.Between the unnecessary belligerent attitudes often espoused by Rap and the incessantly...

    Collins Uncredited

    Is anyone appraised of how much uncredited work 1970 19-year-old Phil Collins may have contributed towards George Harrison's essential "All Things Must Pass" set"?Or was it ever even proven he collaborated here.I heard Peter Frampton may also have gone commercially unrecognized for his efforts...

    Cultural Unity

    Amidst current day's severe racial tensions,there lies an obvious yet sadly overlooked partial remedy for these tragic times of human existence---the magical powers of sharing music cross-culturally.Cases in point from our own chosen fan field of classic rock include the Doobie Brothers,Rare...
